Ok, so who can meet up in the greater LA area on a Wednesday or Thursday? We can do it in the evening, obviously, but those are the days Bikerscout has off.

I woke up this morning and decided to do a run to the south, concentrating on TF BH Shockwave (no find), but here are the details:

Culver TRU - jack squat.

Hawthorne TRU - nada.

Torrence 405 Walmart - a very bent card for the Imperial Navy Commander, bought, not in their system.

Torrence Del Amo Walmart - I waited 10 minutes behind a train, who lets these longass trains drive through the city during the day?!? Anyway, waited just to get to... zip, very small selection overall, annoying since it's right next to...

I considered doing a longer run south and east, but the writing felt like it was on the wall: low orders on this case with 2 shelfwarmers to push against 2x Shockwave doom it.

Imperial Navy Commander is pretty good, looks like the picture even, and he's not a behemoth like the TAC version. Shoulders are a little gappy and sport the Republic logo instead of Imperial. Nice working holster with a Rebel Trooper blaster. Helmet nicer than TAC figure, tight but fits on TAC figure (TAC figure's helmet doesn't fit well on TVC figure though). TAC and TVC heads not interchangeable.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Wait a minute, Bikerscout, how could you have resisted opening MP Prime for so long???

Fine, how bout this? When we all finally meet up I'll bring Prime to open. Depending where we are it might look geeky though. Idk. Anyway, Chad - I was keeping TC boxed in case we got an extra & I would open the worst box first. But if I was to have both out for display in both modes I'd have to open anyway. I am a slow opener --heck, look at how much the Tvc ROTS Sidious is worth now - didn't open him even tho I was going to. Definitely not opening the silver foil Sidious now. Some things I'm just lazy to open b/c I don't want to go looking for it, unburying boxes and all.
Different subject, but what still really sucks right now is the $ being gone from preordering Prowl, Smokescreen and bluestreak.

Found the Joe Ninja Combat Cruiser at Super Target in Moreno Valley. Curiously, it and the 70 or so (I exaggerate, but not much) HISSes were $16.99.

Every single one I've found has been obviously opened and clumsily resealed, but it appears to be before they hit shelves. I don't suppose that might be wasting a question to Hasbro on? Probably not. They probably forgot some minor accessory in the entire run or something.
